I am a survivor, unbound.
I am no one\'s victim.
No longer bound by their lies and my shame, I am here to take my power back, page by page.
My abusers were masterful manipulators who wrapped pretty lies around the ugly truth to hide their abuse.
And I was raised to believe that I was nothing .
My children were raised to believe that I was their sister.
Ultimately, I gave birth to three beautiful babies, each of whom was his .
I became a sex slave to my sadistic aunt and uncle.
What followed was 16 years of harrowing abuse, brainwashing, manipulation, stalking, physical abuse, sexual assault, and the stripping away of me, as a little girl, bit by bit, until there was nothing left.
For me, it became a living hell.
We moved to Hawaii, where they were stationed, thinking it would be paradise.
After an extended stay at a children\'s shelter in San Antonio, Texas, we were adopted by our Uncle Chevo, a Sergeant in the Army, and his wife, Laura.
When I was nine, Child Protective Services removed me and my siblings From my mother\'s home, a known crack house, due to neglect.
